During the first and foremost heartland vol 1. I spent a very small but cherished bit of time with Vu and Isidro shootings 22s at targets for fun on friday morning. I said to myself as I left what did I enjoy the most? Was it the prizes? no sir. They were wonderful of course but not the favored most precious thing. Was it the pond that I could wiggle across and later laugh as others attempted? Again...no sir.
I think it was fighting wind with a 22 at the range with the bros.
For that reason I am contemplating.
Team American 22 deathmatch of doom 2022. For this reason I have purchased a bluegrass targets know your limits 22 target. I will also bring out my .22 mini mo and .22 hostage from MOA targets.
The side event will be at the grace of the range cadre and or owner discussed closer to the event. There will likely be 3 shooting positions with a sprint between them forcing more tactically driven shooting with a 22. I will likely lend out a .22 that might even be zeroed for the day for travelers who can't bring another upper with them or gasp...don't have a 22.
concept of possible range.
Start at left behind barricade shoot mini mo chest to reset head then shoot head down. Shoot hostage taker without shooting target.
repeat from other side of barricade with opposite hand firing.
Move to star shoot all again standing.
Move to low port shoot as far down on know your limits as you feel comfortable then hit stop plate for time.
If you shoot the hostage you are do not finish and stop. If you miss on know your limits you are do not finish and stop.
Lowest time with smallest hit know your limits wins. Or we can do some kind of time plus or points per second scheme I don't care.
Donate x amount of dollars to team emily fund or cola fund or what ever to get one run. Winner gets bragging rights and maybe something cool who knows its cola war.
This is a working concept. If you like it or don't like it for any reason speak your piece. If this works for any other events you may of course absolutely steal the concept.
Thanks to bluegrass targets and MOA targets for sponsoring me which in turn sponsors this side match concept.
